I do have a repo, but I'm trying to avoid using it at this time to learn
how to do things "manually", as it were. Fortunately this isn't code that
needs to see the light of day. :)
So investigating what you said and comparing it what I have, this raises an
interesting question (to me, anyway), and if there's a "best practice" or
definitive answer somewhere, I'd love to see it:
I use Spring to @Autowire "template". "template" is of type
Neo4jOperations, which Neo4jTemplate implements. I'm pretty sure I got
this from some examples online some time ago (mind you, it was for an older
version of SDN).
The question is this: Should I be using Neo4jOperations (which lacks
findUniqueEntity), or should I be using Neo4jTemplate? What's the use case
for each?
